 Buda-pest eye: Located on the roof garden of the west-end city
centre shopping mall and is the most unique observation point in the
middle of the city. The balloon elevates up to a 150 metres,
allowing guests to enjoy unmatched panoramic views of the capital.
The rides takes approximately 20 minutes and is undoubtedly the best
way to see the full layout of the capital.
Caves of Budapest: Budapest is one of the world's very few cities
where more than 100 caves can be found within the municipal area.
One can find these caves in the Buda Mountains situated on the west
bank of the Danube and they are mainly located under residential
districts. The caves of Budapest are hydrothermal caves and are
labyrinthine networks of passages. Most of them have beautiful
formations and are definitely worth making party of your Budapest
holidays. Two of the best cave networks to visit are Palvolgyi &
Szemlo Hill caves. Book your caving holiday excursions with Vamos
Travel.
Danube River Cruise: The mighty Danube River, named by the Greek
historian Herodotus ‘The King of the European Rivers’ presents the
ideal day or night short breaks activity to see Budapest from a
completely different perspective. A Hungary holiday river cruise is
one of the most relaxing ways to see both Buda & Pest and to hear
fabulous stories about the charming curiosities along the river
banks. Contact Vamos Travel about adding this to your Hungary city
break itinerary.
Football in Budapest: the most popular spectator sport in Hungary
is football and a trip to watch a local match is an exhilarating
experience. The cost of a ticket is minimal compared to the UK and
tickets are normally easily obtainable. Football tickets make
perfect birthday gifts, great for lads holidays, stag parties in
Budapest and corporate days out.
Hungarian Formula One (F1) Grand Prix: The Hungarian racing
circuit is 19 km from the centre of Budapest, alongside the M3
motorway at the border of the village, Mogyorod and is held each
year in August. The track is in a natural valley, surrounded by a
rolling hillside, allowing almost 80 percent of the racetrack to be
visible from any point. The weather is normally warm, the beers cold
and the atmosphere electric. It’s a great idea to make that holiday
in Budapest even more unique. We send many Budapest stag weekends
and corporate clients to this prestigious event and they all have
the most amazing time.
Love Parade: Something like a cross between London's Notting Hill
Carnival and the Berlin (albeit defunct) Love Parade, is the
capital’s official summer-ending street carnival, the
Budapest-Parade. This parade attracts well over 600,000 people every
year, 50 party trucks and over 200 DJs. The parade traditionally
takes place at the end of August and is one of the most exciting
events you can experience in Europe. The parade finishes with a
massive fireworks display and then the night clubs across the
capital open up and continue the partying long into the night. Maybe
not the ideal event for discerning travelers, but for young
clubbers, stag do’s in Budapest and hen weekends, the Love Parade is
an awesome event.
Shooting: Take advantage of doing something completely different
and try many of the high adrenaline activities on offer. What about
trying ‘hardcore shooting’? Try an afternoon at a shooting range,
firing off automatic weapons, Kalashnikov’s and pump action shot
guns. Clay pigeon shooting can be organised and outdoor paintballing
is another crazy adventure weekend activity to try your hands at.
These aren’t activities just for Budapest stag weekends, they’re
definitely suitable to anyone, who wants to experience something
completely different on a short break. Recommended group sizes,
should be at least over 6 people, to make it cost effective,
otherwise it can be quite expensive. Transfers, guides and full
safety instructions are always provided.
Thermal Spas & Relaxation: Budapest was granted the title of ‘Spa
City’ in 1934, for featuring the highest number of thermal springs
in the world. The abundance of medicinal waters is quite staggering
and unparalleled by any other capital city. For thousands of years
man has used thermal waters for washing, cleaning, easing aches and
pains, and even for ritual purposes. It is no more coincidence that
every year many millions choose to spend their holidays in such
establishments. Hungary’s capital is the ideal place for anyone
wishing to enjoy the Greek bathing culture, the atmosphere of an
ancient Roman Bath house or relax in Nordic traditions of dipping
pools & heat chambers. Spoil your mind, body and soul and visit a
Roman spa on your European break. Hungary is the greatest holiday
destination for well being and relaxation in Europe.
Wine Tasting: Hungary's annual wine production totals 4.2 million
hectolitres, from 22 historical wine regions. King Louis XIV, was
such an admirer of world famous Tokaj wine that he termed it the
‘The King of Wines’. Why not make wine tasting part of your luxury
holiday experience. Take a sip of world famous Hungarian wines in
Budapest, or enjoy a Tour de Vin. The best place to buy & try wine
in the Buda district, is the House of Hungarian Wines. In the
atmospheric cellar of the House, every wine-region of Hungary is
represented in a separate exhibition area, and approximately 700
different Hungarian wines and sparkling wines await wine
enthusiasts. If you’re exploring the down town of Pest, then pop
into Pres Haz Wine Shop and Museum.
